Another UltiMail Omission

Here's another basic feature missing from UltiMail Lite: as far as I can tell, there's no way to save an e-mail as a file. Sure, we can go to the command line, but the file names are not exactly "user friendly". Or, we can copy the letter to the clipboard. But, it just seems to me to be a glaring omission.

Have you tried to bring up a context menu on the text of the letter and then select export. You will get a file dialog and you can save it then.

I know this may be so obvious that perhaps is shouldn't be considered an omission on the part of ibm, but the installation guide for 2.1 ga doesn't mention anything about backing the disks up before you begin. Fortunately, it did occur to me (despite my excitement at getting 2.1 installed). The 15th disk was munged beyond any repair. Getting ibm to ship me a new disk was no big deal except I had to hold the phone for about an hour of really really bad music. I'm still very happy with os/2 and I think the support people are under- standably busy, but I'm left wondering WHY disk #1 has to be left unpro- tected. Is there some form of copy protection involved? Anyway, for what it's worth, I'd suggest backing up whatever media you get 1st, just to make sure it's ok. If it's not, I hope you enjoy Easy Listening muzak more than I.
